Splash Down Belgian-Style Golden Ale brewed by the Grand Teton Brewing
Company

VICTOR, ID – Grand Teton Brewing Company, known throughout the West for
their exceptional craft brews, is proud to announce the release of Splash
Down Belgian-Style Golden Ale, the second offering in their 2014 Cellar
Reserve series.

Splash Down Belgian-Style Golden Ale is a smooth and crisp Golden Ale,
brewed with Belgian practices and techniques in mind. True to style, this
beer starts sweet, then finishes dry with a mild yet progressive bitterness
from European Noble hops. Though pale in color, Splash Down proves to be
complex and inviting, with intriguing spiciness created during fermentation
by Belgian Abbey yeast.

Splash Down contains Idaho 2-row barley that provides the pale golden color. A
hint of Belgian caramel malt adds color in the cheeks and sweetness on the
tongue. Clear Belgian candi sugar was added during the boil to help increase
alcohol content while allowing for a dry finish and light body.

Their Belgian Abbey yeast ferments warm and produces tastes and aromas like
sweet bananas, bubble gum and cotton candy. A small kettle hop addition of Czech
Saaz hops gives a spicy and earthy hop aroma, while imparting bitterness on the
front of the palate that slowly fades to the back of the tongue.

This Belgian-Style Golden Ale is perfect for summertime drinking and also for
prolonged cellaring. Even with an alcohol by volume of 7.5%, this Belgian-Style
Golden drinks smooth and easy and is very refreshing. Consume this beer
thoroughly chilled. Enjoy with pungent cheeses, a simple arugula salad or
grilled white meats such as chicken or fish lightly seasoned with ground black
pepper and fresh squeezed lemon. A tart dessert like lemon meringue pie will
balance well with the residual sweetness of this delicious summer seasonal. ABV:
7.5% IBUs: 25

Splash Down Belgian-Style Golden Ale will be available May 15, 2014 in 1/2 and
1/6 bbl kegs and bottle-conditioned 750 mL cases.
